As early as half-past seven this morning the curious began to take their stations on each side of Piccadilly, and at half past eight it was impossible to get from or to the line by any of the branch streets ; while " confused, unnumbered multi- tudea" perambulated the line for the purpose of picking ...Toe she Leat spot -:he-y- could their youthful and beloved Queen. Nor were those who had se cured seats at the different windows later in their arrival. The galleries erected in front of the mansions of the late Lord Eldon and of Lady Antrobus were, by eight o'clock, occupied with the I' Fairest of Creation, the last and best of all God's works ;" and certainly the space between Hamilton-place and Apsley House presented a most beautiful and grand appearance. At 9 o'clock, the Police commencel clearing the line, and by half-past nine the road was in perfect order for the pro cession. Indeed, great credit is due to the police who were stationed at this part of the line (the T division), for the very quiet but effective way in which they did their duty. A few minutes before tea the first squadron of Life Guards reached Hyde Park-corner, and shortly afterwards the Foreign Ambassadors arrived, the splendour of whose carriages appeared to excite the admiration of all. Marshal Soult was warmly greeted by the populace. Some little confusion was here created in consequence of the Ambassador having broken the line, but order was soon restored, and " The pomp, the pageantry, and the proud array" proceeded. At a quarter past ten a salute was heard an nouncing that her Majesty had left the palace, and this was the signal for a hearty shout from the " numbers without number." The Duchess of Kent and the Duke of Sussex were warmly greeted. At half-past ten her Majesty's carriage passed Apsley House, which— " With slow hut stately pace kept on its course, While all tongues cried—' God save thee'— You would have thought the very windows spate So many greedy looks of young anti old Through casements darted their desirinz, eyes— And that all the walls With painted imagery had said at once— ' Jesu preserve thee." ' Thus the gorgeous carriage of' England's Queen moved on, amidst the loud acclamations of her loyal and loving subjects, which her Majesty most graciously acknowledged, while " In every gesture was dignity and love." ST. JAMES'S-STREET. Viewed from St. James's Palace, the scene to the upper end of St. James's• street was of the most brilliant and ani mated description. Nearly the whole of the windows and balconies were occupied before seven o'clock, and at eight scarcely a seat remained vacant. Crockford's had a peculiarly splendid appearance, from the large number of elegantly attired Indies who adorned the spacious galleries which extended the whole length of the edifice. The humbler class of spectators on the footpaths had by this time assembled in considerable numbers, and continued to augment every moment; and in numerable were the " hair-breadth escapes" of the pedes trians in attempting to cross the street, particularly at its junc tion with Piccadilly, from the roll of carriages and passage of troops. The danger was somewhat lessened, when at 8 o'clock the barriers were closed to the public, remaining open merely for those who had tickets for the Abbey. About nine o'clock the barriers were finally closed, and the assembly the to settle into soniethinit like order, for the purpose tf conve niently viewing the procession on its arrival. By half-past nine an avenue had been completely formed, and the crowd waited with the utmost impatience for the signal which was to announce her Majesty's departure from the Palace. This was at length heard, and about twenty minutes past ten the first part of the cavalcade turned into St. James's street. A few minutes afterwards the baud arrived and struck up " God save the Queen," amidst the warmest demonstra tions of respect. Marshal Soult on being recognized was loudly cheered, and the applause was prolonged as his car riage proceeded down the street. The Duchess of Kent met with an enthusiastic reception, and the Duke of Sussex was greeted with immense cheering. The waving of handker chiefs from the windows now announced the approach of her Majesty, and every eye was strained to catch a glimpse of the carriage, which at length elite ed St. James's-street, amidst the simultaneous and enthusiastic &seers of the assembled multitude, which were prolonged as her Majesty gra ciously acknowledged the symp tom s of loyalty which were manifested. On passing St. James's Palace, abliut a quarter before eleven o'clock, a short delay took place in con sequence, we understood, of one of the traces of her Majesty's carriage giving way. This, however, was not regretted by the spectators, who were gratified with a more perfect view of her Majesty than they otherwise would have been, and who seemed to vie with each other in their demon strations of attachment to her person. The accident having been remedied, the procession again advanced. PALL MALL. This formed ono of the most interesting, districts in the whole line of the gorgeous procession. Here the ingenuity of the architect, the painter, the carpenter, the haberdasher, Sze., had been taxed to the utmost in the expression of the feelings of loyalty which unquestionably pervaded the universal population. At an early period of the day, the whole street was thronged by pedestrians and equestrians of every descrip tion, whose gladsome features and joyous expressions denoted that they anticipated the glorious proceedings of the day. We are informed that even as early as four o'clock, the pas sengers were far more numerous than is usually the case at the same hour in the afternoon ; and some thousands of people, anxious to obtain a peep at " the admired of all beholders" remained in the stations of which they had pos sessed themselves, for three or four hours. We mention this circumstance as one of the most convincing proofs of the general loyalty evinced throughout the day. The morning appeared rather lowering, and a quantity of rain fell between eight and nine o'clock ; but while it damped I the apparel, it neither damped the spirit nor the expression of the loyalty of that vast assemblage. By ten o'clock, howe ver, the sun shone forth in his native majesty, and dissipated at once the ominous clouds of the skies, and the fears and forebodings of her Majesty's teal and true subjects. Every window in the whole line of houses was, for at least two hours previous to the arrival of the magnificent pearsantry thrown open, and hundreds of England's fair looked forth upon the multitudinous preparations that were making for the re ception of the youthf u l " Q ueen o f H ear t s ." At all the public offices, club-henses, palaces, &c., in Pall mall, scaffoldings had been erected on the grandest and most extensive scale for the accommodation of " the people who delighted to honour" the occasion of a virgin Queen's inau guration. Most of these thronged resorts possessed attendant rooms for wines and refreshments, which were brought into requisition to a great extent, we believe throughout the day ; and many ware the sincere aspirations breathed forth for the happiness, the long life, and prosperity of her who en grosses the attraction of all Europe at the present moment. Myriads said in look and action if not in language— May she live longer than we have time to tell her years, Ever beloved, and loving may her rule be, And when Old Time shall lead her to her end, Goodness and she fill up one monument." And the language and gesture of every one told of anticipa tions of a long, felicitous, and peaceful reign. But tongue nor pen can tell appropriately one-fiftieth part of all that claims notice in connection with this " Day of days." Suffice it to say, that every thing which could poisibly express the affections of a loyal people was called into requisition by the joyous inhabitants. St. James's Palace, Marlborough Palace (the resi dence of her Majesty the Queen Dow:le-et.), Perceval's music shop, the Ordnance, and the Globe Office, presented attractive spectacles. The Oxford and Cambridge Club had scaffoldings erected capable of providing accommodation fo r u p war d s o f 600 members and fri en d s of the institution ; and the Carlton Club afforded seats to upwards of 500 ladies and gentlemen. The arrangements connected with the Italian Opera were of the most superb description : and we must make honourable mention of the taste of the respective architects who superin tended the erections at the Union Club, University Club, United Service Club, Waterloo House, &c. &c. About ten o'clock the roar of the artillery in the Park announced to the eager expectant% along the line her Ma jesty's departure from Buckingham Palace; and about half an hour afterwards the first j..'vc of the magnificent procession. made its appeavaace. ;:t is i+, , ,fites.7ble f, r.us to particularize the reception of the various august personages who comet'. tuted the pageantry ; and we must confine ourselves to the ' following brief statement of facts :—Marshal Soult met with the most rapturous gratulations of the whole people, forming the most conclusive answer to the unworthy attempts which have been made of late to excite a spirit of insult towards that illustrious Nobleman. The apolauding, which welcomed the arr:val of the carriages of the Duchess of Kent and her attendants, and the Duke of Sussex and attendants, were of the most rapturous description. But the Queen ! Iler re ception baffles every attempt at description. No sooner did the people obtain a sight of the features of her Majesty, than " Such a noise arose As shrouds make at sea in the stiff tempest, As loud, and to as many tunes ; hats, cloaks, (Jackets, 'twas said) flew up, and had their faces Been loose this day they had been lost." Her Majesty felt sensibly the enthusiasm with which she was hailed, and returned the salutations by repeated bows to the as semblage on both sides as the procession passed along. Everything passed off in the most happy manner; and in justice we state that the military and constabulary regulations were of the first order. , CHARING-CROSS. As early as six o'clock the opposite space opposite Charing cross and Trafalgar square was crowded to excess by persons of every rank and description, from the rich citizen to the poor mechanic, all anxious to catch a glimpse of, and :to shew their loyalty to England's virgin Queen. The eree kions from this place to the Horse Guards are many of them !tasteful in the extreme, especially at the Admiralty, where the accommodation for the ladies of the various officers of that de partment are very extensive. Along the whole of this line the smiling and lovely faces of the beauty of Emgland 1 " Made us gaze we knew not where, Dazzled with beauty." The commencement of the procession arrived at Charing ICross at half-p as t ten o ' c l oc k , and this was the signal for the ongregat e d mu l t i tu d e to exerc i se might and right. Hun reds who had patie n tly k e p t t h e i r p l aces i n the front since six 'clock w ere f orce d b ac k, an d i t was with the greatest diffi ulty the soldier s an d p o li ce cou ld prevent i ncurs i ons on the Inc set apart for the procession. On the arrival of the carriage f Marshal Soult, Duke of Dalmatia, opposite Drummond's i house, the hero of " a hundred fights" was most nthusiastically cheered. The veteran Marshal returned the honour with the greatest grace, and appeared highly de lighted with the attention paid him. The passing of the Duchess of Kent's carriage was the signal for another rush, and we do firmly believe, that but for the police, the crowd would have carried their loyalty so far as to have forced their hands into the Royal carriage, in order to demonstrate their feelings by shaking hands with the mother of their be loved Queen. Her Royal Highness appeared highly delighted and repeatedly acknowledged tee enthusiastic demonstrations of loyalty and respect towards her. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were greatly cheered, but the applause that v.te conferred upon the Duke of Sussex was beyond description; it must have been most grateful to his Royal Highness, who appeared greatly affected. At ten minutes past I I o'clock, her ! Maeste in the Royal State car riage passed Charing Cross. At thiS moment tne - waving of handkerchiefs from every balcony and window, and the loud huzzas and demonstrations of_ loyalty from the congregated thousands below, pourtraycd a scene which it is impossible for pen to describe. Her. Majesty appeared highly delighted, and repeatedly bowed ia the most 'condescending manner. Upon the Royal Carriage arriving at the Admiralty, the acclamations of the assembled multitude were renewed. HORSE GUARDS. The Horse Guards, as well as all the other Government Offices, were crowded at every window and every house-top at a very early hour. Along Par:iament-street there were some very tasteful erections in front of the [muses, which were generally covered with some device ; they were festooned, and branches of evergreens were judiciously interspersed, so as to give the whole line a very pleasing appearance, which was much heightened when they were tilled with beautiful and smiling happy face!). Amongst all, the largest and most tasteful was that erected by the Reform Club. It gave accommodation to 600 ladies and 500 :Members and friends. We understand that the Committee have resolved to afford refreshments to the whole of their visitors upon this auspicious occasion. In St. Margaret's Church-yard there was not an inch of space unoccupied, and every seat was filed before nine o'clock. No seats were to be obtained for 2s. 6d. this morning as was the case upon the occasion of the Corona tion of George Ole Fourth. The head — of the procession reached this point at eleven o'clock, and seemed to give pleasure to the whole of the vast multitude assembled, many saying that it was the finest pro cession which they had ever seen in this country or abroad. Marshal Soult seas much cheered rs he passed along the line, with which he seemed to he well.pleascd. The Duchess of Kent was most enthusiastically cheered, the ladies all waving their handker c hi e f s . _ _ The Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were also cheered, arid the immense mass w sembitcl, most enthusiastically and cordially cheered the Duke of Sussex. The multitude of Reformers aszernbled in the Refor.n Club House were so enthusiastic in their demonstrations of loyalty as to draw the special attention of our youthful Queen, who acknowledged it by repeated bows. As the Royal carriage progressed the cheering and waving of handkerchiefs were unbounded—every hat was doffed, and many were the blessings invoked upon the head of her youthful Majesty. Her Majesty arrived at the Abbey precisely at 32 minutes past eleven o'clock, When sha alighted, all the bands played the National Anthem. The arrival was announced at that moment by the firing of a gun. • . - The procession was most admirably conducted, and, so far as we were able to learn, without a single accident. The line was kept ba the police, assisted by the Guards ( Foot). The Royal Artillery Company, commanded by Col. Cox, were on duty in Parliament -street, and loudly cheered their Royal Colonel, the Duke of Sussex, as he passed. THE NAVE. The great body of the general spectators were congregated in the Nave, along the side: of which galleries were con structed arranged in an ampnitheatrical farm, with ten row of benches, rising above one another, and calculated to hold at least 1,500 persons. Very shortly after five o'clock, the hour at which the Abbey was opened, these galleries began rapidly to fill, and by seven o'clock were crowded. The spectacle presented by this vast audience was very striking. The diversified colours of the different dresses, Naval and Military Officers in their respective uniforms, Clergymen in canonical robes, Civilians in endless variety of apparel—from the most orthodox full dress, to the ordinary every-day gar ments (for the regulations as to full dress were by no means enforced, though none were to be sren who were not well attired)—and above all, the countless hues which marked the 'ices"' of the fair —all combined to render the scene at once picturesque and pleasing-. The patience of these spectators was to be severely tried by a six hours' delay ; but there were not wanting numerous objects to divert their attention and wile away the tedious interval. Those more distinguished personages who had seats in the choir had of course to pass up the nave, to reich their various destinations, and were a source ofperpetually changing attraction. Now, a Judge of the land, with slow and legal step, paced the floor; then, a Peer of the Realm, arrayed in coronation robes of crimson velvet, edged with ermine, and coronet in hand, not uofrequently with a real and unassumed dignity of port and bearing that forcibly reminded us of the " Knights and I3arons bold" of by-gonb ages ; and led us for a moment to believ e that "the age of chivalry" had not yet fled : anon, sl id more attractive, came some noble dame—her splendid flowing train spreading around her in luxurious magnific ence, her fair and lofty brow bearing the impress of nobility, followed perhaps by some lovely daughters of a nobl e h ouse, " not unworthy of their ti tled ancestors ; officers, " in a ll t h e pomp and pride tf glorious war ;'' bishops and aldermen, pursuivants, gentlemen-at-arms p , ss i ng in quick succession. Between seven and eight corn parties of foot guards arrived and lined the hall. Many of the Foreign Ambassadors now arrived ; and the novelty and rich ness of their dresses excited great admiration, not,however,equal to that which was awakened by the appearance of some of the younger branches of the female aristocracy, who ass they tripped lightly along the hail, seemed incarnations of loveliness and grace, their beauty needing not th e a id of the costly gems that 7litterecl around their persons. The Attorney General came in his official costume as first Law-officer of the Crown, accompanied by his Noble consort, the Lady Stratheden, in her robes as Peeress. One Noble Peer came attended by a little child of such remarkable beauty as attracted universal observation, as Page, carrying his coro net. About half-past nine a deer was heard outside, which announced the arrival of some distinguished person; and a few minutes after his Grace the Duke of Wellington entered. His appearance wa , .; greeted by an enthusiastic shout of applause. The Marquis of Normanby (late Earl Mulgrave) was received in a similar manner. Shortly after ele. - en the Special Envoys from Foreign Powers began to arrive. The magnificence of their dreszes, and that of their suites, were greatly admired. Marshal Scult was most cordially cheered. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchesses of Cambridge and Kent were enthusiastically received, especially the latter. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge met with as hearty a reception. As the . Royal procession slowly wound its way between the lofty aisles, the spectacle presented was one as gorgeous and i mpress i ve as anything that could well be imagined. When her most Gra cious Majesty came within sight, the vast audience simrthane ously rose ; and a shout " loud as from numbers without num ber," rung through the venerable arches of the Abbey, end was re-echoed by the multitudes without, testifying in ;inem-e and heartfelt tones the loyalty and affection with which the youthful and august monarch of these realms was regarded by her thousands of assembled subjects. Her Majesty, as she walked up the Nave displayed perfect self-possession, r e t urn i ng t h e enthusiastic greetings with which she was received in a manner marked by that union of gentleness and dignity so characte ristic of her Majesty. Her Majesty was immediately pre ceded by Lord Melbourne, and the Duke of Wellington (as Constable of the Tower)—a circumstance which was re marked by the spectators, and elicited no slight applause. On her Majesty's entering the Choir, the cheering was again re newed, and was indeed only put a stop to by the opening of the Coronation Anthem. The Great Officers of State, the Archbishops of Canter bury and York, the Noblemen appointed to carry the Regalia, all in their robes of estate, and the Bishops who were to sup port her Majesty, as well as those who were to carry the Bible, the Chalice, and the Patina, assembled in the Jerusalem Chamber, adjoining the Deanery, before Ten o'clock, where the Regalia, having been previously laid on the table, was delivered by the Lord Chamberlain of the Household to the Lord High Constable, and by him to the Lord Willoughby d'Ereshy, as Lord Great Chamberlain, and by his Lordship to the Noblemen .by whom the same were borne in the fol lowing order, viz.:— REGALIA. First, St. Edward's Staff, to the Duke of Roxburghe. Second, The Spurs, to the Lord Byron, Deputy to the Baroness Grey de Ruthyn. Third, The Sceptre with the Cross, to the Duke of Cleve land. Fourth, The pointed Sword of Temporal Justice, or Third Sword, to the Marquis of Westminster. Fifth, The pointed Sword of Spiritual Justice, or Second Sword, to the Duke of Sutherland. Sixth, Curtaua, or Sword of Mercy, to the Duke of Devonshire. Seventh, The Sword of State, to Viscount Melbourne. Eighth, The Sceptre with the Dove, to the Duke of Richmond. Ninth, The Orb, to the Duke of Somerset. Tenth, St. Edward's Crown, to the Duke of Hamilton as Lord High Steward. Eleventh, The Patina, to the Bishop of Bangor. Twelfth, The Chalice, to the Bishop of Lincoln. Thirteenth, The Bible, to the Bishop of Winchester. The Dean and Prebendaries of Westminster were in the Nave, in readiness to join the proceeding next bofore the Officers of her Majesty's Household. Her Majeety, and the Princes and Princesses of the Blo3d Royal, attended by the officers of the household, having ar rived at the west entrance of the Abbey, her Majesty was re ceived by the great officers of State; the Noblemen bearing the regalia, and the Bishops carrying the patina, the chalice, and the Bible, when her Majesty repaired to her robing chain ber, constructed on the right of the platform without the en trance. The Ladies of her Majesty's householl, and the officers of the Royal household, and of the respective households of the Princes and Princesses, to whom duties werd not assigne 1 in the solemnity, immediately proceeded to the places prepared for them respectively. Her Majesty having been robed, advanced up the nave into the choir; the choristers in the orchestra singing the anthem, " I was glad when they said unto me, we will go into the house of the Lord," &c. At a quarter before 12 o'clock the head of the procession appeared issuing from the Royal entrance, under the organ, and advanced up the aisle in the following order:-- The Prebendaries and Dean of Westminster. Officers of Arms. Treasurer of her Majesty's Comptroller of her Majesty's Household (attended by two Household. gentlemen), bearing the trim son bsg with the medals.

THE CROWNING. The Archbishop standing before the altar, and having St. Edward's Crown before him, took the same into his hands, and consecrated and blessed it with the prayer " 0 God, who crownest thy faithful servants with mercy, &c." Then the Archbishop came from the altar, assisted by the Archbishops of York and Armagh, with the Bishops of London, Winchester, and other Bishops, the Dean of West minster carrying the Crown; and the Archbishop took and placed it on her Majesty's head; when the people, with loud and repeated shouts, cried " God save the Queen ;" and immediately the Peers and Peeresses present put on their Coronets; the Bishops their caps; and the Kings of Arms their crowns : the trumpets sounding, the drums beating, and the Tower and Park guns firing by signal. Never did we hear louder or more hearty plaudits, that al most rent the walls of the old Abbey, setting at nought a ll etiquette and ce remon y, th an those whi c h 'ourstfrom the lips and hearts of her attached and loyal people, when the Crown was placed on the head of their young and lovely Sovereign.

THE INTHRONIZATION. Te Deunt being ended, the Queen ascended the theatre, and was lifted into her Throne by the Archbishop, Bishops, and Peers around her Majesty, and, - being so inthroned, all the great Officers of State, the Noblemen bearing the swords, and the Noblemen who had borne the other Regalia, stood around about the steps of the Throne, alien the Archbishop, standing • before the Queen, pronounced the exhortation, " Stand firm • and hold fast," &c. TfIE HOMAGE. The Exhortation being ended, her Majesty delivered the sceptre with the cross to the Lord of the Manor of Worksop, to hold the saisie on her right hand, and the sceptre with the dove to• the Duke of Richmond, to hold the same on her left hand during the homage. The Archbishop then knelt before the Queen, and, for him selfand the other Lords Spiritual, pronounced the words of Homage, they kneeling around him, and saying after him. The Archbishop then kissed her Majesty's hand, and the rest of the Lords Spiritual did the same, and retired. Then the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge, ascending the steps of the Throne, and taking off their coronets, knelt be fore the Queen ; and the Duke of Sussex pronounced the words of homage, the Duke of Cambridge saying after him. Their Royal Highnesses then severally touched the Crown upon her Majesty's hend, and kissed her Majesty's left cheek, and then retired. The Dukes and other Peers thereupon performed their homage, the senior of each degree pronouncing the words of homage, and the rest of the same degree saying after him, and each Peer of the same degree, successively, touching her Majesty's hand, and then retiring. The Peers bearing the swords, when going to perform their homage, delivered them to noblemen near them to hold during that ceremony. At the conclusion of the homage, the Queen received the two sceptres from the ,Dukes of Norfolk and Richmond. During the performance of the homage the choir sang the anthem, This is the day which the Lord bath made," &c. and the Treasurer of her Majesty's Household threw about the medals of the Coronation. THE HOLY SACRAMENT. After the anthem the Bishops of Carlisle and Rochester, uho had read the Epistle and Gospel, received from the altar, by the hands of the Archbishop, the patina and the chalice, which they carried into St. Edward's Chapel, and brought from thence the bread upon the patina, and the wine in the chalice. [hr Majesty then delivered the sceptres to the Dukes of Norfolk and Richmond, and descended from her Throne, attended by her supporters, and assisted by the Lord Great Chamberlain, the Sword of State being borne before her, and went to the altar, and, taking off her Crown, deli vered it to the Lord Great ChaMberlain to hold ; and then knelt down. Then the Bishops delivered the patina and cha lice into the Queen': hands ; and her Majesty delivered them to the Archbishop, who, having said the prayer, Blest, 0 Lord," &c., reverently placed the same upon the altar, cover ing them with a fair linen cloth. The Queen, still kneeling, made her SECOND OFFERING (a purse of gold,) which the Treasurer of the Household de livered to the Lord Great Chamberlain, and he to her Majesty, from vhom the Archbishop received it.

Her Majesty and the Princes and Princ:,s:,,s of the 81004 Ronal then returned to the Royal Palace with the same state as in th&rprocelinrr to the Abbey. THE INTERIOR. For the informa!ion of the uninitiated amung our renders— Act interior of the " auncient Abba)e" of vi).:stminster being .0 many, even of the good ciiizens of London ; " a seal e d bo o k" —it may be necessary to state that the vast pile is in the form of a cross, the aisles from the Royal entrance runnin g west and east, and the transepts north and south, the Centre of the build_ lag being the theatre where the chief portic-.1 of the august and impressive ceremonies took place; and whe.•-s the young and lovely Queen of these realms formed to-day the greet point of attraction, " the . cynosure of every eye," of the countless thousands of the elite of the aristocracy and geatry, of this and every other civilized nation on the face of the globe, a serrilded within th e vencra hl e p il e. From the w es t ern en t rance, w h ere her Majesty passed un- • 'der tits organ gallery to the theatre, a raised platform twenty four feet wide was elected, with a smaller platform on either side for the accommodation of those persona7es who took a part in the imposing • ceremony. In the centre of the Abbey, land immediately under the lantern, teas a square platform, fis tn tended b y f our steps, covered with claret-coloured drapery, ichly emb ro id ere d i n go ld . H ere was placed the throne or hair of stat e , f ac i ng t h e a l tar, i n which her Majesty re ce iv e d he homage of,he r p eop l e . I ts s id es were hung with gold lace 'f greet richness an d e l egance, t h e seat and back being ,overed with crimson ve l ve t, on w hi c h the Royal arm s were 'plendidly embl azone d, an d t h e p ill ars, flutings, &c., b e ing o f . urnihhed gold. Th ere was a l so a f oot -stool corresponding 4 every particular with th e th rone i tse lf . At each corner of he theatre were semi c irc u l ar ra il s, w i t hi n which the heralds .d yeomen of the guard, bearing their partizans, remained . uring the ceremony. At the eastern or opposite extremity of the building was the altar, surmounted by a lofty canopy, supporting various emblematical figures in gold. The drapery behind, it consisted of silk damask, extending along the whole of the front gallery, and draped up with elegant festoons of gold cord and tassels. On the right of the altar was the offering table, covered wtth garter blue Genoa velvet, bordered with lace and fringed with gold. In front of this table, and close to the theatre, was the pulpit, elevated on a splendidly gilt and decorated pedestal— the pulpit and c.ishion being covered with crimson velvet, richly fringed with gold lace. The south side of the sacra rium was occupied by the Royal box. The drapery here was of the most costly iiescription, being trimmed with loops of gold rope, bordered and fringed with gold lace, the interior lined with white satin, elegantly fluted, and the chairs, which were of an extremely beautiful and unique pattern, being also decently gilt and ornamented. Her Majesty's Litany chair and faldstool were placed at the foot of the stage supporting the throne ; the dr.:pery was of the same costly mateital and of corresponding magnificence with the other arrangements for this august and impor;ant oc casion. he eastern aisle, immediately above the alter. which on 'ormer occasions was occupied by the choir, wels the gallery 'or the accommodation cf the Members of the House of Com . - mons. The seats, &c , wcra covered with scarlet cloth and gold ornaments. Above this was another gallery, rising nearly to the roof of the building, the se - its of which were also covered with crimson cloth. The fronts of the various gal leries were decorat,d with hangings of the same material, trimmed with a deep gold friege, and having the Royal arms embroidered in gold in the centre. At intern:ls of about ten feet, extending along the entire ranges of the galleries were triangular pillars, 'elegantly fluted and finished with gold mouldings. The north and south transepts were occupied for about half their depth with galleries for the accommodation of the Peeresses and Peers; these, with the smaller galleries above them and the vaultir.qs, were finished in the same chaste and elerfant manner. All the galleries. ascending emphitheatri callv to the roof, afforded a commodious view of the procerd tugs to the immense assemblage of spectators. • The nave behind the organ, with i:s galleries right and 1 the Gothic screen in front, and the Gothic tracery ore Royal entrance, had ittOlt imposing effect The gild and pinnacles of the organ were in prefect keepi e • .tit'ette, Gothic arehitecture by which it we.s 2 r 7 sn the gallery for the sose' mental performers, affording accommodation for upwards of four hundred persons. The most exquisite taste was displayed in all the :mange ments which we have thus briefly, and, we fear, imperfectly de scribed. The admiration of all parties sea; elicited not so much by the splendour of the decorations, as by the perfect consistency and keeping of all the parts, applied as they were to the interior of so ancient it fabric as the Abbey, and harmo nizing so completely wit:it the massive grandeur of the time stained wall s , w hich were j u di c i ously left in all their original architectural beauty and simplicity. From the treat western entrance through the nave, along the aisles into the interior of the theatre, including the choir, north and south transepts, altar, galleffice above and on all sides, there was a perfect uni formity or style ; all that was requisite was included ; and al though gorgeous and magnificent almost beyond description, there was nothing to offend tee eye of the teost fastidious, or is any way to lessen the general effect of the The most attractive and interesting portion of the Abbey, was the north transept, in which were a:sembled several hun dreds of England's noblest and most lovely dames in their robes of estate. This point, more especially when the sun flung its rays across it, was a perfect blaze of diamonds and other costly gems. The doors of the several entrances to the Abbey were opened precisely at five o'clock, and notwithstandi ng the im mense numbers who even at that early hour had assembled, such were the excellent arrangements made, that no crowding or inconvenience took place, all parties being directed by the police and other attendants stationed along the passages to the galleries and sittings indicated on their tickets. In about half an hour, the upper and lower Choir Gal leries in the West Aisle., and the vaultings over the aisles and transepts acre completely filed, principally by Ladies in full dress. The Judges, Vice-Cbancellcr, and Master of the Rolls, in their state robes, took their seats at the ecd of the choir nea , est the Theatre. At a few minutes pact six o'clock, the attendants proceeded from the Western entrance with the plate for the altar, the arrangements for which had not been completed up to that hour. From seven o'clock a continued stream of Peer=, Peeresms, and other distinguished personages, entitled to pan through the Western entrance and up the Aisle, were pot , ri, , g into the Abbey, and were conducted by the Heralds ai:d Exons to the places assigned them, the Peeresses taking their Bel s accord ing to their rank in 0- , c North transcept, and the P,Tr4 in the same order in the South transcept. The Sheriffs, Aldermen, and the Members of the Corpo ration sat below the Judges in the Choir, and close to the Western entrance. The Merabers of the House of Commons, who were all in Court dress or uniform, arrived about half-past nine, and in a very short time the lower and upper galleries were filled. Among the distinguished individuals who attracted most ob servation in their passage up the aisle were his Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours and suite, Prince George of Cam hrilze, Earl Grey, Lord Lyndhurst, the Duke and Duchess of Buccicuch, the Marchioness of Londonderry, &c. At ten o'clock the firing of the guns announced the depar ture of her Majesty from the Palace, and the scene in the Abbey then became much more interesting and animated. The sun, which had been obscured during the morning, at this period pointed a flood of brilliant light through the lofty gothic windows upon the gorgeous assemblage beneath. It is impossible to describe the brilliant and pictu resque effect of the various costurnes—tmForms, robes, and draperies of every fantastic form and hue glittering with bril liants, Pearls, and gold and silver lace, which met the eve in evnv direction. From the theatre of the vat Luilding to the vaultings, every point was crowded to 'excess, and all oyes we: strained to catch the first sight of their young and lovely Sovereign. Among the fastest arrivals were the Foreign Ambassadors, nit!) suiteA, forming many gorgeous an d var i ed group; of uniforms and decorations. They occupied the Eastern Gal lery, opposite the Koval Box. THE RETURN FROM THE ABBEY. The procession commenced to leave the ALl)ey at twenty minutes to four o'clock, hut her Majesty did not get into he r carriage till twenty minutes to five, when she Arai received i❑ the same enthusiastic manner as when she arrived along the whole Loc. tier Royal Mother and her Royal Uncle of Susses also rec,ived the srttne meed of the public approbation.
